While the estimated downtime for this maintenance period is up to 60 minutes, players should keep an eye on Ubisoft’s official channels for real-time server status updates.

During the maintenance window, players will be unable to access Rainbow Six Siege’s online servers. Standard and ranked matchmaking will be temporarily disabled, and those already in a match before the downtime begins may experience connection issues. Once the maintenance concludes, the game should be fully operational with the latest updates.
